Manchester United got their Europa League campaign off to a winning start with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Astana at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were made to be patient and twice rattled the woodwork on what threatened to be a frustrating night for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. But the hosts finally found a way past a determined Astana backline as 17-year-old Mason Greenwood jinked past his man and finished superbly into the bottom corner to secure all three points.
Positives
United were in complete control from the very first whistle and the youthful XI showed plenty of promise.
